[R-SIG-Mac] missing symbols in build of Mac-GUI?

[Kevin B. Hendricks]

Hi,

It must be my mistake then.  I was following the INSTALL file found  
in Mac-GUI and it said that on Mac Intel I was supposed to use the  
Makefile to insure that the correct version of gcc (ie. /usr/local/ 
gcc4.0/bin/*) version was used.

That Makefile seems to be hard coded to make a universal version of  
R.app.

I was offering patches to that Makefile and other pieces to allow it  
to create R.app that is not universal.

I am a really an old linux/unix programmer and really have never  
worked with xcodebuilder to any real extent and was actually happier  
with the "make" approach.

Sorry for the noise.

Kevin
